7 Ways to Impress a Ukrainian Woman
Ukrainian women are very sought after by Western men for their beauty, family values, emotional fortitude, intelligence, and other amazing qualities. What’s even better is that many Ukrainian women today are very Western-oriented, modern, and quite enthusiastic about the prospect of dating a foreigner and moving to Western Europe or the US.
Of course, as with any other international relationship or dating, however, there are some cultural differences that can get in the way somewhat. This raises the poignant question many men share – how to earn a Ukrainian woman’s attention and affection? To answer that, here are 7 ways to impress a Ukrainian woman.
1. Be a good listener
You’ve certainly heard this tip mentioned for other women too, and that’s no accident – women in general like men who are good listeners, and the reason for that is because the average man isn’t as good of a listener as the average woman. So, it’s only natural for women to gravitate toward men who are above the curve in this regard.
That’s especially true for Ukrainian women who not only are quite talkative themselves but who come from a relatively more traditional and conservative society (at least compared to the global West), and are especially interested in modern and empathetic men with excellent listening skills.
2. Show her that you’re aware of Eastern Europe’s various nationalities
Of course, you don’t need to be an expert on international relations, politics, and geographics to impress a Ukrainian girl (although that’s always impressive). However, it is important to have at least some basic knowledge of some of the ethnic and national differences in the region.
The most obvious example of that is the difference between Ukrainian people and Russians – given everything that’s been going on there recently, this is the one mistake no one should make when dating a Ukrainian girl.
More than that, however, there are also ethnic differences between Ukrainians and Belarusians, Hungarians, Moldovans, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Baltic people, and others. In general, understanding the differences between Eastern, Western, and Southern Slavs is also key.
3. Ukrainian girls value educated men
Proper education is very important for Ukrainian women. Despite all the recent “happenings” in the country, over 97% of both men and women in Ukraine have completed their upper secondary education, and many either have or are looking for better opportunities for higher education degrees.
In fact, this is one of the primary reasons for Ukrainian women to look to move to the West is for the better higher education opportunities available there. That’s why, to a Ukrainian woman, a Western man who has had the opportunity to pursue higher education but has decided to skip it is highly unattractive.
4. Competence and reliability are key
One of the many reasons Ukrainian brides travel abroad and look for foreigners to date on sites such as BridesUniverse, is that they are looking for reliability and security. This isn’t just in relation to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, however, but is a general trend that was evident even before 2022 and 2014 – Ukrainian women just value competence and reliability in men.
Be warned, however, as Ukrainian ladies are quite adept at distinguishing competence from confidence. While this isn’t to say that confidence is a bad trait to have as a man – it certainly isn’t – Ukrainian women are just good at spotting men who have misplaced confidence in themselves.
5. Be polite and considered, not only toward her but in general
Ukrainian women – while pretty traditional and family-oriented overall – are also quite modern. For them, the egalitarian and humanist values of most of the global West are incredibly important and another big reason to move to a Western country.
So, Ukrainian women are often actively looking for such values in the men they date, and one of the best indicators of that is how men treat those around them – not just the women they are trying to impress. As some of the most desired women in the world, Ukrainian ladies know all too well how much a man can put on a front and fake politeness and respectfulness when trying to impress a girl.
Because of that, most Ukrainian women know to look not only for how men treat them when they are trying to impress them, but how they act in general. Are you trying to be polite and respectful toward her but rude and dismissive toward others – you can rest assured that she will notice that and count it as a huge negative.
6. Show her that you are cultured
Ukraine is one of the countries with the richest, oldest, and most fascinating culture and history in Europe. Ukrainian ladies know that and are very proud of it. This isn’t just national pride, however, but has also translated into a general admiration and respect for culture in general.
As a result of that, Ukrainian women are not particularly interested in men who don’t value culture – be it their own or any other. For Ukrainian women, a lack of interest in culture is similar to a lack of desire for higher education – it feels like a waste and a shame, which they don’t find particularly attractive in a man.
7. Have at least some basic culinary skills
As a more conservative and traditionalist culture, compared to much of the West, Ukraine is a country where most men still expect women to do most of the cooking and housekeeping. This is great for both Ukrainian men and for Westerners dating Ukrainian girls. However, it also means that Ukrainian women are especially impressed by men who either love cooking or are at least relatively adept at it.
This doesn’t mean you need to be a master chef to impress a Ukrainian woman, but it does mean that if you are completely unable or unwilling to do even the most basic thing in the kitchen, most Ukrainian women will be very put off by that.
Naturally, all seven of these tips are quite broad and non-specific. Ukrainian ladies, like all other women around the globe, are all different, and all want and need different things from relationships and from life in general. In that sense, you could say that tip #1 is the most crucial one, as it’d help you quickly pinpoint what it is that your Ukrainian date is looking for and interested in.
However, the rest of these 7 ways to impress a Ukrainian woman are all quite key and guaranteed to work with any Ukrainian lady too – just make sure to also look for more personal things she finds important and include those in your attempts at courtship too.
